More Movies Please!

Steven and Sean want to watch all the movies. No really, ALL the movies. We're both filmmakers (although Sean's been dabbling in other things) who love to talk about all the movies we see. Each episode, we discuss a movie we've recently watched and decide whether or not it's worth your time. Hosted by Steven Reyes and Sean Anderson.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are on an unstoppable quest to get our gold back from the worst scum imaginable. We watched the 2022 film from Jalmari Helander, Sisu.

What do you get when you cross a crapload of found gold, a bunch of Nazi bastards, and what could rightly be called the Finnish Superman? You get one of the bloodiest, revengiest films ever made.

There’s a proverb that revenge is a dish best served cold. When you’re in the far northern part of Finland, where temperatures can plummet down to -60º F (around -50º C), then the only temperature revenge can be served is freaking freezing.

Let this film be a lesson to us all. If you ever happen to meet a grizzled looking Finlander who’s on a determined trek, then stay the hell away from them. Seriously. I’m trying to save your life here.
